Radar Overlay Features - Sperry Marine Visionmaster FT ECDIS User Manual

ECDIS User Guide

Radar Overlay Features

The optional radar interface provides access and display of target
information. Radar contacts are automatically processed to provide a
single target list, so that if two VisionMaster nodes have acquired the
same target it will be displayed as one target at the ECDIS. Symbols
representing radar targets are displayed on the electronic chart, see
Target Facilities.
In addition to the targets display, the radar interface can optionally provide
a Radar Overlay, which displays radar video on the electronic chart, see
Radar Video Mode. The radar return information from fixed navigation
points can be used to check the accuracy of the displayed chart, matching
chart data to actual location data for objects visible to the radar.
The following table lists the additional features available with the radar
overlay option.
